Storyman is the songwriting partnership of Kevin May and Mick Lynch. Former members of The Guggenheim Grotto, Kevin May and Mick Lynch realized early on when faced with the concept of career that they had only one choice: Art. Their art of choice was music. They set out developing their multi-instrumental sound to support what has become one of the most unique, identifiable and chilling vocal marriages. It’s not by chance that they have been compared over the years to the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel with a dash of Leonard Cohen and a few drops of Radiohead–add some of Ireland’s most poignant crooners and you might have a hint of their pedigree. Most recently they have been likened to Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, but they always remain outside the trends of the day retaining an aura of permanence along with deep wisdom. Yes, they were born and bred Irish lads, but their music has always been universal with a signature debt to Irish melancholy, the sad sweet fragrance and elixir of pain that only the Irish can inject into a beautiful melody and lyric. The guys (having lived in Brooklyn for the last three years) have had a musical rebirth, working with producer Chris Kuffner (Ingrid Michaelson, Bess Rogers). They have developed their sonic landscape to produce an album that indicates a true breaking of the The Guggenheim Grotto mold. While retaining the sensibilities that made The Guggenheim Grotto so successful, Storyman takes it to a much edgier, bigger, and beautiful place.
